===Senses=== | ===Senses=== | ||
Their sense of taste is so sensitive that they can easily tell the difference between natural foods and that created using a replicator. As a result they tend to refuse to eat foods that are not 100% natural. | Their sense of taste is so sensitive that they can easily tell the difference between natural foods and that created using a replicator.

===Blood Chemistry=== | |||
Due to certain unusual properties found within the chemical makeup of their blood it is impossible to use said blood for any other species. Further due to its aggressive white blood cells it is very hard to find a match even among their own people. The use of synthetics for minor blood transfusions is now the norm. Another possible side effect of their aggressive blood is the fact that it has proven to be impossible so far for Antosians to mate and produce children with any species other than their own. Their scientists and doctors have been working on this problem for a while with no luck so far. | |||
===Hair=== | |||
An unusual aspect of their hair is the fact that intensive testing can reveal the patients’ medical history in regards to viruses and medications. Unfortunately the hair can only be tested for the period of time that covers its growth. | |||
===Medical Training=== | |||
During medical school, they use a very unusual teaching method. In order to show how various illnesses affects their species, they inject one of the med students with a highly aggressive virus, and quarantine all the students to the same area so they can tell the difference between directly affected (injected) and those infected by exposure (which was a weaker infection). Since they have such aggressive white blood cells and a highly adaptive immune system this normally fatal and cavalier method of instruction tends to be a safe teaching method. | |||

===Ba'vira=== | |||
This is the term given to that one special Antosian who is the perfect soul mate. All Antosians dream of finding their Ba'vira. | |||
===Birthing=== | ===Birthing=== | ||
The birth of a new life results in a large celebration that usually lasts for 3 days. This will include the entire family, extended family, friends and anyone else who can find time to join them. The baby and his mother are the guests of honour and everything is done for them. | The birth of a new life results in a large celebration that usually lasts for 3 days.
